| Summary: | Proliferative periostitis, often referred to as Garre’s osteomyelitis, is a distinct type of chronic osteomyelitis marked by the formation of new bone along the periosteal surface. This condition typically occurs in response to a low-grade, persistent infection or irritation, most commonly associated with dental infections or trauma. Early detection and addressing the underlying cause of the infection are crucial for successful management and positive outcomes. Hereby, the authors present a case of a 13-year-old male diagnosed with proliferative periostitis, in whom no evident source of infection could be identified, presenting a diagnostic challenge. Authors highlight the importance of using various radiographic techniques to facilitate a prompt diagnosis, which prevented unnecessary treatment delays and invasive procedures. |
